Overall, I think this is a good quality budget ultralight. I use it as an ancillary computer at work. On battery, it averages about 8 hrs of continuous use ( I use the balanced power mode), which is mostly web browsing, and checking emails. I have not tried out the camera since I hardly ever use it; I like the idea of the sliding cover. The small footprint and 16:10 aspect are perfect for transporting in a backpack and viewing pdf files. The keyboard and trackpad are the weakest components of this laptop but I use an external mouse and most typing is done on the desktop. The overall build quality good and the port selection is more than adequate. The screen is good quality and for the price meets my expectations. I upgraded to windows 11 with no issues. The 11370H tiger lake cpu and 16 gb ddr4 lpddr we’re my other requirements for a windows laptop in this price range. The fans will ramp up when doing an update but given the size of the machine, this is expected. Keeping it on ac when doing an update appears to minimize the issue. I am more than satisfied with this machine and highly recommend it as a good budget business ultralight. Read more
I have had several Dell laptops and this one is just as good as any of the others I have had. It is very quick, very light weight and the battery lasts almost as long as my Macbook Pro M1. I use this for work and it runs the full day while using MS Office apps all day, surfing the internet and doing MS Teams calls. Very nice laptop with just the right amount and type of ports.

OK so what most people has mentioned here is true, the main issue on this laptop is the Blue Screen of Death and the touch pad. So the problem causing the Blue Screen of death is one of the Dell programs or apps that comes with the computer, I couldn't tell you exactly which one cause I deleted almost all of them that were not essential, also deleted a bunch of programs and apps that in reality you will never use them at all, they're just taking hard drive space so get rid of them, after that, the laptop is pretty solid machine, the wife use it to work 9 hours a day then when she's done I use it for at least 7 hours for gaming and it has no issues. Just make sure you lift it up with something or use one of those bases with cooling fans so the laptop don't get overheated and go to hibernating mode. As for the touch pad, is like a feature that they don't mention in the instructions but it works like half the touch pad down for movements and half to the way up for some features I haven't figured out yet.

Other statements made about this laptop that claim it's flaws.....they are correct. Track pad never worked well out of the box. Multiple crashes both on Windows 10 and Windows 11. I did everything anyone with advanced computer knowledge and skills could do. A laptop with these specs and at this price should not run as if it's a 2001 gateway laptop. Even when it would work, it would get too hot for light tasks. I could not even make the attempt of doing any video editing on this in fear it would just melt the device and I would not be able to return it. If you are in the market for the best display, the right high end specs and portable, do not go with this one. Even the keyboard was junk. It should not feel as if I am typing on a 200 dollar Chromebook. It has that premium price with bargin feel. Never should be that way. Read more
Si eres usuario de Windows y te gusta el estilo de Mac esta es tu laptop, es una computadora pequeña pero poderosa, con su i7 y las 16 de ram corre todo tipo de programas, su pantalla QHD+ es un detalle fenomenal, no le envidiaras nada a la competencia tiene unos negros profundos y colores super nitidoz, creo que funcionaria bien para gamer (yo no la uso para eso) prefiero las consolas, pero en trabajos de la U no tengo quejas mas, que se calienta mas que mi ordenador anterior pero nada de que preocuparse al tacto no molesta para nada, su sistema de enfriacion con doble abanico es super bueno y el acado en aluminio la hace tranfererir la temperatura muy rapido (a como se calienta rápido, tambien rapido se enfria), me encanta el teclado es igual en dimensiones que el de una laptop de 14" asi que no te preocupes para escribir esta muy bien y el retroiluminado lo hace aun mejor.

Like the performance it's fast, no lag loading main apps, boot up is fast, best part is the screen resolution it's bright enough, mate finish to help prevent glare while using it....it has a THUNDERBOLT!! that's a must nowadays... Runs games flawlessly although not to the max graphics but are playable and look just fine for a non gaming PC. Battery life could be better but when considering it's a 4k display, i7 and Nvidia GPU running along battery life kinda makes sense....maybe I was expecting more since I'm coming from a 7th gen i7 no dedicated GPU and HD display Battery life could be better Read more
This is a really nice laptop, however it came with loads of bloatware. Made it really slow. Took a while to determine what software I needed to remove in order to preserve the battery life. Only have had it for a few months now, but getting adjusted. Overall it’s not a bad laptop. Just have to adjust it, and remove the software that you don’t need and purchase a better virus protection program, it comes with a renewable mckafee license. Even though I’ve had it for a few months, adjustments are never ending, The tracking, and advertisement on Google, email and mostly every tab is insane. Still trying to manage content safely and with less advertising.Amazingly slow… Read more
I bought this laptop back in June of 2021 and it worked great for several months. However, the speakers are now starting to go and it can have issues booting up. Overall, its a decent laptop and I have been able to game on it and push it, but I would advise you that its better to buy a different laptop if you want it to last longer than a year before having issues. Also, it can get very hot due to the flawed fan design. Read more
